Calling Cards Then

By the nineteenth century, “calling cards” were essential to those of the middle class as well. In the house of every individual was a silver tray with a pencil and a pad of paper in which the visiting party would write down information about them and when a reciprocal call was to be made.

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the social card etiquette became famous wherein, when visiting a lady, the gentlemen would write on a card his name and purpose upon reaching the door of the lady’s home, which would then be brought up to the lady herself. Once approved by the lady, a face-to-face interaction with the gentleman would only then take place.
